Nope. Not off the top of my head. But the most important thing to me is that the things I can do in Windows I can do with less hassle under Linux based distros.

Ex: look for simple program to play guitar pro tablature files. On Windows have to sift through spyware or pay $50+ for a decent program. On Linux based distros a simple Google search leads me to Tuxguitar. Simple and free.

>>57312220
You can do anything on either OS and port/emulate the same tools, the question is one of convenience. In which case Linux is more convenient for setting up a developer environment (one controlled though SSH, for that matter) and Windows is more convenient for setting up a desktop computer for casual and non-programming work usage.

You COULD set up Cygwin and a package manager and a custom DE and FTP/HTTP/etc servers and whatever you want on Windows, but it's easier and more supported to just use Linux.

You COULD set up Illustrator and Autodesk tools and Reason and a billion proprietary tools through Wine and several hours of tweaking, but it's easier to just run Windows in a VM or a separate partition to the same effect. (Or try to replace everything with FOSS tools, in which case enjoy tearing your hair out from frustration.)

TuxGuitar has a Windows version. It's written in Java, for that matter. I'm pretty sure most GTK or KDE based FOSS applications have a Windows and a Mac port, too.

You can't do that on Windows.

>>57325797
So you've personally studied and audited all ~60 million lines of code in your kernel, init system, driver, window server, window manager, web browser, and compiled all of those yourself?

Enjoy having to do it all over again the moment any of them get updated, at which point you'll realize that your motherboard, processor and router already have spyware built into them, and your USB keyboard has a chip in it which you know nothing about.

>>57325856
It's not about doing that. It's about having the ability.

>>
>>57325947
The ability means nothing if you do not act on it. I also wouldn't trust hundreds of universities around the world more than I would hundreds of investors or hundreds of millions of pissed off users. If anything, saying that "oh you can just view the source code" breeds complacency once everybody starts saying that instead of actually examining what their software is doing through objective evidence.

:^)
>>
>>57325999
So you'd rather trust the operating system in which you CAN'T view any of the source code over the one that CAN?

Objectively which one is better?

100% correct but for basic functionality there are alternatives, not as robust, but certainly get the job done. The only thing I've yet to try is win's ability to read from zfs, or open an encrypted luks partition.
>>
>>57321221
honestly after reading this thread I'm convinced I wasted my teenage years learning to use linux.

i should have just switched back to windows sooner.
>>
>>57326011
Neither. I would trust the one I have the most experience with. For instance I use a copy of Windows 7 with most of the services disabled. I ran it through every packet analyzer and monitoring tool under the sun, and I'm fairly confident that it doesn't randomly send keylogger data to Microsoft. I wouldn't use Windows 10 for the same reason, or Ubuntu. I also wouldn't use my desktop computer for running a drug empire or a rape dungeon.

Being able to view the source code has complex implications. Sure, it means that you could theoretically go through every line of code yourself, but what if it uses a library or a binary blob? What if there's just a simple vulnerability that was placed there as a backdoor? If the source code is open and public, yet at the same time obscure or large enough, determined people would be motivated to create something exploitable that doesn't seem like more than a simple bug. It isn't as simple as a function literally named nsa_spying_module that takes a screenshot and uploads it to whitehouse.gov.

Your hardware already contains unaudited code. Exploits and zero day vulnerabilities are impossible to protect yourself against. If you have any delusions of complete privacy and safety on the internet, reconsider your approach.

Update all my software at once without needing to manually update each one.

This is a pretty big deal if you need up to date packages. On Windows, you can spend hours updating libraries you need I'd working with a lot of various ones.

To be frank though, it just looks and feels better. Windows limits you to one theme and that theme is Windows. The only limiting factor on Linux is >gtk.

>>
>>57326382
The library point is valid, but I never understood wanting to update every single thing automatically. The "LATEST AND GREATEST" meme is dumb, software that hasn't NEEDED an update in several months is more likely to be stable and secure than something with three nightly builds and "whoops the last release introduced a massive bug that breaks all your shit" patches. It also prevents staying on older versions, which can be useful or necessary in many cases, and makes you generally uninformed about what you're running on your computer. Leaving everything up to maintainers and an automated system strikes me as a bit worrying.

Also Windows can be themed, if anything it tends to have better ones than the tons of "minimalist" KDE garbage.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Linux is easier to understand for me.

Windows does a lot of weird stuff. Like the other day, i saw that my c-drive had a lot of folders filled with random letters in the name. All of these folders were off limits permissions wise, and the permissions couldn't easily be changed like in linux. eventually, i was able to change some of the permissions of the files in the folder, but not all of them. It gave me an error message stating that this could screw something up, so I decided to change them back, and again, i get the same error message.

googling found out that windows was storing updates in my c-drive using the digital signature as the folder name.

Which just raised more questions:
>storing updates instead of waiting for the user to download them
>letting users partially change permissions of update folders
>not letting users with admin privileges easily modify permissions for everything
>storing updates when there's a chance someone could think it's a virus and try to modify or delete the folders, only to partially delete them and render the update unable to finish, or possibly bork the system.

Then there's the whole manual update thing, the spyware thing, etc. My experience with windows has been it works great as long as I don't try to do anything interesting with it.

> It turns your computer on in the middle of the night for god knows why.

Neither of my Windows 10 machines do this, and I have never owned a Windows machine that has done that.

"Active Hours" is a setting that tells your computer to not auto-restart for updates during a specified hour range when you're afk w/ computer on.

So it'll reset, ie turn your computer off then on again, killing any programs running and potentially losing data.

It's really easy to automate tedious shit just by putting the commands in a text file. Has saved me literally hours when it comes to video encoding and repairing corrupted video files. Or I can download and encode a list of youtube videos to listen as podcasts while I'm asleep.
